(2nd LD) N. Korea to resume propaganda loudspeaker broadcasts toward S. Korea: N.K. leader's sister

What happened: Kim Yo-jong said North Korea will resume propaganda loudspeaker broadcasts toward South Korea later this month, according to state media KCNA. She said she inspected border positions with Pak Jong-chon. Key numbers: Broadcasts to begin within October. Border fortification began April 2024. Mine explosions in the DMZ last month injured three South Korean soldiers. Why it matters: Kim called the move an "appropriate response" and the "most just measure." Tensions have heightened since the DMZ mine explosions, which South Korea attributed to North Korea and North Korea denied.
